Garlic Butter and Ground Black Pepper Ziti!

Tonight’s dinner is a simple garlic butter and black pepper Ziti dish! I love simple pasta dishes like this one!

· 1 small head of garlic- about 14 cloves- peeled and chopped finely in a food processor

· 1 stick of salted butter

· 1 tablespoon of salt

· 1 tablespoon of freshly ground black pepper

· 1 tablespoon of salt- for the pasta water

· 1 tablespoon of olive oil- for the pasta water

· 1 box of Barilla Ziti pasta

To start with, I filled a large pasta pot full of water and added in the salt and olive oil. Once it reached a boil, I added in the Ziti and cooked it for 10 minutes.

In a large skillet, I added in the chopped garlic, butter, salt, and pepper and let it simmer on low to make the sauce.

Once the pasta was done, I drained it with my big pasta scoop and added the Ziti straight into the sauce.

I stirred the noodles to coat them completely and then served.
